Looking back at pictures and even video reviews of toy Biz Marvel Legends most of them seem to be badly proportioned, crudely sculpted and quite ugly, aside from the BAFs which are annoyingly incredible. No offense intended to any Toy Biz fans, but what is it about them that you like over the Hasbro offerings?
Different tastes and all that, not trying to demand people justify why they like them, I'm just curious about what it is about them that make them so popular still.

For all of the great figures that Hasbro has put out over the past couple of years there are still some characters/costumes that have yet to be remade since the ROML. And the only way to get them is by finding the Toy Biz version. The Doc Ock that every one has been showing off the past few days is a perfect example of this. He may not be great by today's standards but he's the best out there for the moment.

The Fwoosh had a nice article a few months ago about about the Toy Biz Series 1 Hulk. The author was talking about how the figure was his first Marvel Legends figure and keeping it even though he owned better Hulk figures that had come out since then. Sadly, the figure broke while he was photographing it. Most of us probably have a Toy Biz Legends figure that we're keeping no matter what because it was our first or simply our favorite for the longest time. Mine's the Series 1 Captain America.
